Taphozous grantij sp. n. 



Allied to T. saccolaimus. Colour reddish brown. Skull 

 smaller and proportionally broader. 



Size rather less than in i-accchditiu^. Ko radio-nietacarpal 

 pouch. Gular sac represented in female by a sharply defined 

 naktd space on the throat, with distinct edges; no doubt 

 there is a well- developed pouch in the male. Fur short ; 

 hairs of back about 3-4 mm. in length, those of the sides of 

 the neck about 5 mm. Distribuiion of fur apparently as in 

 saccolaimus. Geneial colour above deep reddish brown 

 ("burnt umber"), mottled with a number of irregular whitish 

 ])atcnes ; bases of hairs paler. Under sui face paler bruwn 

 (near " russet"). 



^kuU decidedly shorter than that o'i i>accolaitnus, but much 

 broader in proportion, the zygomatic breadth equalling that 

 in the larger skull. Forehead not deej)ly excavated. Bost- 

 orbiial processes of tyj)e very long. Posterior palate with 

 the median ]Kilatal notch (palation) deci^ edly posterior to the 

 lateral palatal edges, as in 2\ saccoluimiis, all other species 

 that I have been able to examine having the palation level 

 with or anterior to the lateral palatal edges. Posterior part 

 of floor of mesopterygoid fossa smooth, without the deep 

 fcharp median groove found in T. saccoloiihus ; sphenoid pits
